Reviews: Finding Nemo 3D (2012)

Excerpt: There’s not much of a reason to see ‘Finding Nemo’ in 3D. But then again, there’s not much of a reason to see any movie in 3D, and this cash-in rerelease is mostly worthwhile for giving us the welcome opportunity to see and enjoy ‘Finding Nemo’ again.

Excerpt: Seeing the film on the big screen for the first time in almost 10 years with added dimension given to ocean corals, schools of fish the Eastern Australian Current and the murky depths of a sunken submarine was almost like seeing it anew.

Excerpt: Watching Nemo in 3-D on the big screen with my kids, I was captivated by all sorts of details that don’t stand out the same way on the small screen: the varying degrees of transparency and translucence of fishy fins; the articulation of the tiny suction cups on the underside of Peach the starfish in the dentist’s fish tank. Look closely at the top of the little pink octopus with one slightly shorter tentacle: Her mantle is slightly transparent.

Excerpt: “Finding Nemo” stands up as one of the most engaging animated children’s films of all time. If you’ve never seen it before, you’re in for a real treat. If you have, you’ll love this version more than ever.
